I think I will be able to attend one of the screenings at the film festival -- will any of the "stars" be there for that? Is there any difference between the screening on Saturday and the one on Sunday, other than day/time? Will there be a Q&A before and/or after the screening (I kinda assume there will be, but...)?

Yes, Erik, you will definitely be able to see THE NEW FIRE online, but not until after it's been commercially released. Right now, the film can only be seen either at a film festival or at private/community screenings. It's very common and a sort of rite of passage for an independent film to make the rounds on the festival circuit prior to its commercial release.

Don't worry, you and your fellow backers will be among the first to know when the film is commercially available (date TBD but almost certainly sometime in 2018). Until then, THE NEW FIRE will be making the rounds at festivals and private/community screenings. If you or anyone you know is interested in arranging such a screening, please inquire at info@newfiremovie.com. Thanks!

"You will receive a digital screener link to the film upon its commercial release."

That pledge led me to believe I'd be able to buy it online in some way - won't I be able to do that at some point? I hoped to show it to my friends without needing them to make a pro-nuclear pilgrimage to a screening.

I'm happy to support this project no matter what, but I'd really feel it would be troublesome if this work was not made available to a broader audience. I'm a math person, and I can't stop myself from comparing how many I believe to be reached by local screenings and an online version available on Netflix, YouTube or as a digital download from some webpage.

I'd be willing to pledge a lot more if that would enable this movie to reach more people - say by being freely available on YouTube.

By the way, about screenings in Sweden. Pandoras Promised had a screening at Uppsala University's Ångströmslaboratoriet. I'm confident Uppsala University researcher Mattias Lantz happily will be able to clarify if that is an option for you - you can contact him at: mattias.lantz@physics.uu.se or by telephone at 004618-471 3754 ( http://katalog.uu.se/profile/… )

Congrats on completing your campaign Can't wait to add your movie poster to my collection, but more excited to see how your film inspires the next generation of nuclear engineers in the same way that the Apollo program inspired future astronauts. Now if only the large "green" groups would wake up and "smell the atoms".

I wanna point out a potential danger that you might encounter in the future. There is a chance that your digital release can be hacked by any computer expert. There was a case like this before. I don't remember the movie's name but morgan freeman was one of its cast if im not wrong.

Thanks for your message and for supporting for what we're doing. Obviously my team and I share your views on why this film is important.

The number of people who are already knowledgeable or interested in nuclear or advanced nuclear is relatively tiny and so part of the reason we're making this film is to help spread awareness. That's why it's really important that everyone who cares about this issue stands up and lends their support to this effort now. We have 142 backers right now and that's great, it's a really good start. But we'll need to at least double or triple that number to succeed.

Many of the organizations on your list have been helping to spread the word about the campaign on social media or have been supportive in other ways, and their help has been essential to our success so far. But the fact is that we need greater participation at the individual level in order for this campaign to succeed. This has always been a grassroots effort and we rely on visionary publishers like Rod Adams as well as word of mouth from people like you to build our support network.

If we are going to succeed in reaching our goal, then we are going to need people like you to not only back this project, but also to get others to do so as well. Every little bit helps and I'm convinced there are many current holdouts who could become backers with just a little nudge from their friends. What a great opportunity for concerned people to use peer pressure for good:-)

David, I came across your Kickstarter campaign on Rod Adams "Atomic Insights" and felt compelled to become a backer. Robert Stone's "Pandora's Promise" provided a much needed perspective on Nuclear Power. I see your endeavor as an equally important corollary to the story.

I am somewhat dismayed that there are only 140 backers thus far with only 14 days remaining. Is there a way to get the Kickstarter campaign for your project mentioned on websites such as:

Hi.
Great project and the topic is a very importiant one and I myself is a spaeker of nuclear power, mainly research in the future of thorium usage. I wanted to pledge for the movie link of coarse, but the e-book seems very interesting, unfortunately I cannot make 2 seperate pledges. Is there a way to get round that. The bundle reward is out of my price range though.
Best regards
Dennis
